Love the floorboards and your AV setup looks like high end to me (except for the speakers maybe)

That's one sexy MP skin, what's it called? I currently use StreamedMP, I think I may be about to convert after seeing your pics.

Do you find Arcsoft TMT better than the cyberlink alternative for BD (if you've tried both)? I assume you are using that MP BD plugin so you can launch the player though the GUI, if not you should check it out.

That's it, Id like my pictures removed from this thread.

I am sick of the "id like to masturbate to your setup" or "id like to steal your stuff" and the last post, "how big is your dick" jokes.

If we cant have an mature conversation about things Id rather not participate in this thread.

It's called Black Glass Nova. I was also using StreamedMP before I switched over to this one

I started off using PowerDVD, but found that my remote didn't work well with it, so I switched over to TMT which has it's own WMC interface and integrates seamlessly with Media Portal. This was a year ago though, so things may have changed since then. And yes, I use the BD Plugin, so that the "Play Disc" link in the first menu will launch TMT if a BD is detected in the drive.

Cabinet is 1.7m. It's a non-standard size as it was custom made to fit all the gear

haha I'm sure they were just kidding around, so don't take them seriously. But even so, I (and I'm sure a lot of other people) have found this thread to be very helpful and inspirational. It would be a shame to let people ruin the good thing we have going here.

You can edit your own posts, if you wish. I would prefer you didn't.
